From the Translations of Thomas James and George Tyler [sic] Townsend. Introduction by Angelo Patri(J.B. Lippincott Company, 1949)

"There are already two copies of this book in the collection, but they are different. Both of them have non-pictorial cloth covers and dust jackets. This copy, by contrast, has on its cover a black-and-white rendition ...
